The Seine is the life and soul of Paris and cuts right through the very heart of the city.

There is no time of year where Rome is quiet, a city with such history, romance and charm will always be measured in degrees of busy. Over Easter, however, you’ll probably be surprised to hear that Rome is not as crowded as most people expect.

When most people think of Italian wine, they think of Chianti. But as the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do and your average Joe Roman isn’t guzzling down Chianti with his pasta lunch. For centuries the Rome wine of choice has come from the Frascati region nearby and that is what Joe Roman is still drinking today. And perhaps that is also the main reason that Frascati is often overshadowed by Chianti – it has never really had to put in the extra effort to sell itself. Rome has always provided an enthusiastic market for Frascati wine so fewer bottles have been sent further afield, making it an often difficult wine to find back home.
